Why it works

Ten minutes of dancing combines cardio, attention, and emotional expression in a way that almost no other activity matches. It's also impossible to do badly.

Best for

•When a mood needs a hard reset
•Morning if you're slow to wake up

Variations

•Pick three songs you love and dance through all of them without stopping.
•Dance with the lights off if self-consciousness gets in the way.

Frequently asked

I can't dance. Does that matter?

No. The benefit is physiological, not aesthetic. No one is watching.
